MONTRÉAL EXCHANGEMontréal Exchange Inc. (MX), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMX Group Limited and Canada’s derivatives exchange, plays a leadership role in three areas of finance: financial derivatives markets, clearing services and IT business solutions.

MX first revolutionized Canada’s financial environment in 1975 with the introduction of equity options, and then again in 1988 with the launch of Canada’s first financial futures contract.

Today, in addition to being a shareholder in the Boston Options Exchange, MX also operates EDX London, Oslo Børs and IDEM (the Italian Derivatives Exchange Market) through our SOLA software products.

CANADIAN DERIVATIVES MARKETThe MX electronic markets provide a level-playing field for all participants. MX operates two distinct markets, a futures market and an options market. Individual retail traders, small businesses and large institutions have access to the same central order book. MX offers individual and institutional investors, both in Canada and abroad, a wide range of risk management products for protecting their investments and ensuring growth.

MX currently lists:

Equity optionsWeekly OptionsOptions on Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)Share FuturesCurrency options (options on the U.S. dollar)Index derivativesInterest rate derivatives (bond and money markets)

The anonymity of traders and firms is protected for all bids, offers and trades. MX’s market model comprises features including direct access, transparency, integrity and speed. The market model ensures execution of client orders on a price time priority basis, at the best possible price.

CLEARING SERVICESThe MX clearing house, the Canadian Derivatives Clearing Corporation (CDCC) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMX Group Limited, providing central counterparty clearing services to participants. CDCC, who prioritizes managing risk exposures, continues to distinguish itself by upholding a top investment rating and a strong reputation.

CDCC also offers risk management services to partners in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) market.

REGULATORY DIVISIONThe MX is recognized as a self-regulatory organization by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), and the regulatory oversight of MX markets is carried out by the Regulatory Division (MX-R).

MX has a major stake in maintaining the confidence of investors and financial institutions in global derivatives markets. Under the AMF oversight, the mission of MX-R is to ensure the integrity of MX derivative markets.

• The document is available at www.m-x.ca/f_regles_en/06_en.pdf.

• Electronic Trading Rules are available at www.m-x.ca/f_circulaires_en/012-13_en.pdf.

SOLA PLATFORMSOLA is a highly robust, low-latency trading system for multiple financial products, namely standardized options and futures.

TRADING TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES OVERVIEW

ORDER ENTRYMX supports two order entry protocols:

• SOLA Access Information Language (SAIL): is the native protocol for SOLA, offering functionalities required by both order-flow providers and market makers.

• FIX Protocol version 4.2.

The MX market model is built on a price/time priority (FIFO) algorithm.

SOFTWARE SOLUTIONSThe MX SOLA platform is designed with open architecture that accommodates a wide variety of trading and market data interfaces. Select from a variety of certified applications to execute electronic orders and receive market data which vary in type of functionality supported.

Customers that need a front-end trading system, may:

• develop their own;

• license one from an independent software vendor (ISV); or

• use an application provided by a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), Introducing Broker (IB), data center, proprietary trading group, trading arcade, or clearing firm.

A wide variety of ISVs have written to the MX open SOLA platform, providing approved participants and their clients many options for front-end systems. A list of certified ISVs is available at: www.m-x.ca/connect_fournisseurs_en.php

http://reg.m-x.ca/en/lopr/

MARKET DATAThe MX High Frequency Vendor Feed (HSVF) and MX Order Book Feed (OBF) are available in multicast format.

The HSVF multicast is a price aggregate feed, and the OBF, a binary, market-by-order feed are two separate feed products. Although they both share and accomplish a similar goal, which is to deliver accurate market data in real-time, the business need and technical delivery of each is not the same.

The HSVF UDP Multicast broadcasts real-time trading and statistical information. The feed is comprised of Trades, Quotes, Market Depth, Strategies, Bulletins, Summaries and other Statistics. Information is provided on all MX listings. HSVF customers can access both level one and level two real-time data for MX. Implied prices are disseminated through HSVF for feed handlers that have developed for this feature.

MX introduced a new Market Data service; the OBF. OBF is a “market by orders” protocol that includes full depth and is intended for any clients who wish to have the ability to fully analyze the trading activity of MX listings. OBF direct data-feed protocol makes it possible for subscribers to track the status of each order from the time it is first entered until the time it is either executed or canceled. Using this protocol allows subscribers to build their image of the full order book or of the market by price level.

HISTORICAL DATAMX offers historical daily summaries on its options and futures. The download function on the webpage allows downloading in an Excel spreadsheet up to six months (max) of historical data. Historical daily summaries can be found at www.m-x.ca/nego_fin_jour_en.php.

Please contact TMX Datalinx Services for times and sales data on the futures market via email at [email protected].

POST TRADE SERVICES• Automated Trade Reporting (ATR): The ATR provides live confirmation of all transactions executed in

the trading system. Market participants’ back-offices can subscribe to this service to feed their risk position management applications in real time.

• Trade Management System (TMS): The TMS application provides real-time trade reporting and post-trade allocation functionalities for approved participants and clearing members. This application links the trading platform to CDCC. Thus, TMS facilitates clearing, back office and risk management operations. The TMS application installation package is a self-extracting file.

• Clearing API: The Clearing Gateway provides the same functionalities as the TMS application through an electronic API. Market participants can develop their own software to communicate with the MX Clearing Access Services Gateway for post-trade allocations.

• End-of-Day Trade Reports: The End-of-Day Trade Report is a .csv file accessible through a secure FTP server that contains, among other fields, the counterparty information of each trade. This service is available for approved participants (domestic and foreign) only.

• Participant Activity Reports (PAR): PAR is a series of comma-separated value (CSV) files containing pre-defined fields, simple to read and easy to import into any database. The PAR service is useful for compliance departments as it facilitates both the monitoring of trading activity and the creation of databases for surveillance functions. Participants may also use these files to reconcile their orders and trades made through various applications:

The five available reports include the following data:1. Instrument List: all active instruments

2. Anonymous Trades: anonymous daily trading activity

3. Firm’s Open Order: all firm’s open orders

4. Firm’s Order Activity: all firm’s order entry modification and cancellation messages

5. Firm’s Post Trading: trade, give-up and allocation information (with counterparty information)

8


• Large Open Position Reporting (LOPR) Graphical User Interface (GUI): As stated in the Regulatory Overview section of this document the LOPR GUI is an application that was developed by MX in order to assist participants with the submission of reports pertaining to the accumulation of positions for derivative instruments.

RISK MANAGEMENT SERVICES• Drop Copy: Participants subscribing to the Drop Copy feed receive order and quote (optional)

acknowledgments and trade notifications messages. Participants receive all confirmation messages from a single feed, irrespective of the multiple trading applications that they may use. Participants can thus recreate their order book and trades in quasi real-time. Participants also have the option of sending a cancellation message (see Global Cancel below) via the Drop Copy connection.

• Pre-Trade Validation API (PTV API): The PTV API is an exchange service hosted and processed within SOLA, the current trading infrastructure. The PTV API provides participants with the ability to set position limits, credit controls and maximum order quantity. It allows clearing members to set specific or global pre-trade controls for their AP/FAP clients, AP/FAPs who want to integrate risk controls or AP/FAPs using Exchange based Pre-Trade Validations. Triggers predefined actions and alerts when limits are reached. Development and certification are required for those who want to use PTV functions.

• Global Cancel: The Global Cancel functionality allows participants to send global order or quote cancellation messages. Global Cancel is available on a separate connection within each order entry channel. With a single message, participants can instruct the system to cancel their firm’s orders or quotes, according to their pre-determined granularity level. As mentioned above, this function is available through the Drop Copy service.

• While Connected for Day Orders: With the While Connected functionality, day orders are automatically withdrawn from the central order book when a participant’s server disconnects from MX. Upon reconnection, participants receive standard cancellation messages. These cancelled orders are not recoverable and must be resubmitted.

TESTING AND CERTIFICATIONThe test and certification documentation is designed to facilitate development and certification to MX’s SOLA services.

• Technical Specifications: To obtain the technical specifications, customers must contact the technical help desk ( [email protected] ). The technical help desk will provide the required specifications and other documentation designed to assist customers with development, connectivity and testing.

• Access to General Test Environment (GTE): The testing environment is designed to improve the customer development and testing experience. Customers must complete the GTE Access Form for access to the test environment, and must email a scanned version of the completed form to [email protected].

• Certification: The certification environment mirrors production functionalities and customers can use it to perform:

› certification testing for the core SOLA functionality;

› maintenance testing;

› development testing for new system features or functionalities in production-like conditions.

External applications using the MX native SAIL or the FIX industry standard protocol for order routing, the High Speed Vendor Feed (HSVF) or the MX Order Book Feed (OBF) for market data dissemination, ATR, Drop Copy, LOPR or the Clearing API, require certification before gaining access to the production connection. The Market Access Manager will provide customers with required test cases and support during this phase. Contact the Market Access Manager to schedule an appointment when ready to certify.

PRODUCTION BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTSIt is important that client infrastructure is properly sized in order to avoid dropping messages. In order for clients to receive the MX multicast feeds with the least possibility of dropping messages, it is recommended that clients have a minimum of 100 megabits of bandwidth. Though average per second peak rates are expected to be much lower, it is important to take microburst activity into account. Due to the bursty nature of the MX feeds, it is possible that clients with insufficient bandwidth could experience message loss during microbursts of activity.

Based on analysis of the feed’s infrastructure and behaviour, the following table provides an overview of what clients should expect at varying bandwidth rates.

CLIENT BANDWIDTH FUTURES FEEDS OPTIONS FEEDS

< 100 megabitsFrequent message loss during peak periods and during microbursts

Frequent message loss during peak periods and during microbursts

100 megabits Rare, if any, message loss Infrequent message loss

500 megabits or greater Rare, if any, message loss Rare, if any, message loss

Note: The client’s results will depend on their infrastructure design.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

DOES MX ALLOW DIRECT MARKET ACCESS FOR (DMA) CLIENTS OF AN APPROVED PARTICIPANT OR FOREIGN APPROVED PARTICIPANT?DMA access is not allowed for such participants. MX only recognizes approved participants (domestic or foreign) for direct connections. Requests for trader IDs, firm IDs or alternate connections must come from the approved participant. The approved participant must have a risk filtering mechanism in place before orders can arrive at any connection point. The approved participant is responsible for this as a condition of their approved status. MX trading rules require that the approved participant has an order routing agreement in place with their clients. Such routing agreements do not have to be submitted but must be in force before order routing for clients can be permitted.

CAN SOMEONE CONNECT VIA VPN?VPN access is permitted through the MX General Test Environment.

In Production, VPN ACCESS is permitted to the MX LOPR service and CDCC.

LAN-TO-LAN VPN CONNECTIONS:Typically the VPN connections are set up in tunnel mode between the client’s router/firewall and MX VPN routers. Traffic between the client’s internal hosts and MX hosts will then pass over the established VPN tunnel.

Does MX offer any incentive programs?The MX offers an incentive program for proprietary traders: the Volume Rebate Program. Additional incentives are available to proprietary traders registering for the Volume Rebate Program for the first time.

MX Volume Rebate Program – Terms and Conditions and Application Form http://www.m-x.ca/f_publications_en/mx_rebate_volume_form_en.pdf

GLOSSARYCommitted Order: The Committed Order facilitates the execution of prearranged transactions (by one approved participant against another) and cross transactions (by one approved participant against themselves) which may be executed with a zero-second time delay between the input of two matching orders. Committed Orders must contain the SOLA-configured code of the designated counterparty and can only be matched against corresponding counter orders also entered into the functionality. Orders are held in a dedicated private archive until matched, or until the end of the trading day, whichever comes first.

Iceberg order (hidden quantity): Order that facilitates the sequential display of pre-determined portions of a single order. The minimum quantity required to be displayed is 25 contracts for all futures contracts, except for Ten-Year Government of Canada Bond Futures (CGB), which has a minimum of 50 contracts. This facility allows for the efficient execution of large size orders without disrupting supply and demand in the market.

Limit order: Order for which a limit price is specified.

Market order: Order for execution at the best price available in the market for the total quantity available from a bid or offer. Any residual volume remaining following the partial fill of a market order is automatically converted to a limit order at the price at which it was initially executed.

Market-on-open order: Order for execution at the CTO (Calculated Theoretical Opening) price at the market open. Any residual quantity of a partially filled market-on-open order automatically becomes a limit order at the price at which the original order was executed. Market-on-open orders have priority over limit orders.

Stop-limit order (supported on the S&P/TSX 60™ Index Standard (SXF) and Mini (SXM) Futures contracts only): Order that is meant to limit a loss, or lock in a gain. A participant specifies a “trigger” price and, should the price of the contract drop (or rise) so that it trades at or below (or above) the trigger price, a limit order to sell (or buy) will be created and sent to the market. Stop orders that do not specify a trigger price will be rejected. To change a trigger price a participant must cancel the original order and send a new one.
